I would never let a white boy beat me. You can print that. I would never lose to a white person.

I still shop at Costco. I just started tipping two years ago.

I function better when my back is to the wall.

Enjoy that you can see me now. I would love to see the great Michael Jordan and Julius Erving in their younger days, but they're gone. Look at me at 50, I'm going to eat right and live right so I can take less punches and look normal.

I was knocking guys out in the streets before I knew how to throw a jab and keep your chin down, In most neighbourhoods, the guy that could fight gets respect. You got in the parties free. I never had to pay the dollar because people were scared of me. But back then I was ignorant.

I always not only want push the envelope in my career but I also have an itch for going against the grain.

The powers that be don’t want athletes or boxers to become as smart as they are.
